Atholl Highlanders on parade

[OC Richard]

I realise that the situation with the Atholl Highlanders is different, but those lighter-coloured plaids remind me of the officers' plaids worn in Victorian times, which were lighter in colour, and generally smaller in sett, than the trews or kilts worn together with them.

Hard to judge from photos but I suppose that the plaids are a lighter-weight finer cloth than the kilts or trews.

Here, the Colonel's plaid on the left.
